“Medical Malpractice” is a term that is used to describe a mistake that is made by someone providing healthcare to another person. In the law it is called negligence or a lack of due care. At Davis Miles, we represent individuals and families who have suffered injuries or have lost a loved one due to the negligence of a physician, nurse, technician, hospital, nursing home, clinic, pharmacy, drug manufacturer, laboratory, or other healthcare provider.

Serious injury or death may result from medical negligence in a variety of areas. The medical malpractice may involve:

• injuries to a mother and baby in the birth process (labor and delivery);
• injuries to babies or small children;
• brain injuries which can permanently change a person’s life;
• injuries from surgery by either doing the wrong thing or failing to do the right thing;
• injuries in hospitals or rehabilitation facilities;
• injuries from medications which may be the wrong medication;

• injuries from a failure to recognize and treat a medical problem from a failure to diagnosis, a delay in diagnosis or a misdiagnosis;
• injuries that are caused by mistakes in the emergency department;
• injuries that are caused by mistakes in the way doctors or nurses or technicians write the medical records;
